The Political Parties Dispute Tribunal ruled that the Orange Democratic Movement primaries had massive and glaring irregularities.

Certifying as urgent an application by Hezron J Opiyo, tribunal members Kyalo Mbobu, James Atemi and Hassan Abdi directed the applicant to serve the suit papers on the senator and ODM. It scheduled the hearing for Thursday.

The announcement that Prof Nyong’o had trounced Governor Jack Ranguma sparked protests across the county.

Meanwhile, confusion marked the sitting of the ODM Appeals Tribunal on Tuesday.

RULE ON APPEALS

The Willis Otieno-led team declined to rule on appeals against nomination results, passing the buck to the National Elections Board.

In most cases, the tribunal directed the NEB to either withdraw provisional certificates or hold fresh primaries.
